Adele Wins Song of the Year at the Grammys

Adele just won the Grammy for Song of the Year for that little old song "Hello" everyone and their mothers were singing and memeing last year. She kicked off her acceptance speech by apologizing again for swearing mid-way through her George Michael tribute and then thanking songwriter Greg Kurstin, who joined her on stage:

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. First of all, I really do apologize for swearing. George Michael, I love him. It means a lot to me. So I'm really sorry if I offended anyone anywhere. This is Greg Kurstin. Thank you very much for this award. Thank you to the Academy, thank you to my record label, thank you to my manager, Jonathan. I get so nervous. And I'd like to thank Greg because Greg kept coming to England for me to work with me and it was hard work, this record and I had a very short attention span. And he would come to me in England and said I didn't have to leave my son, and yet you would leave your son and daughter. So thank you for your patience with me and helping to create my favorite song I've ever done. So, thank you, Greg.
